Another early 1990s FM1-like adult contemporary/soft rock compilation in the AEI Propac collection. This one is similar enough of
tape 9380 that I believe 9380 is actually another standard Timeless Pop programme whose cartridge, for whatever reason, had a generic label instead of the specific TP label not for a custom tape. It was produced most likely in mid-1992 - there is a certain selection about 10 minutes into track 2 that clearly dates it to at least then. I will not be held liable if you destroy your computer or fire a round into your head upon hearing its sheer awfulness (you have been warned)!
The tape appears quite worn and was recorded at a low level, hence the noise floor is fairly high. There is also a faint but audible ~1.3 kHz buzzing in the background. No restoration, EQ or noise reduction was done on this transfer. Speed reduction was -26.75% (-25% and -1.75% to correct for possibly faulty mastering equipment). The audio has been split into separate mono tracks for this presentation. None of these tapes include any documentation.
